"This was by far the best recipe I have tried for Mac-n-cheese! The sour cream and parmesan cheese really adds a lot! I cut down on the butter; I used 2/3 stick. I added Progresso breadcrumbs to the top too! Very easy to make!"

"Great recipe, I probably made between 3 and 4 cups of pasta since other reviewers said to add more. I also added more milk to make the creamy mixture a little thinner, the longer it sits one the milk and chicken broth are added the thicker it gets so either have the noodles ready to go or add more milk. I also estimated the spices, added a bit more ground mustard and a lot more pepper, but I love pepper. I also added a bit of onion and garlic powder. Cooked it for about 30 min, then took it out added some extra Parmesan cheese and some crushed Parmesan goldfish crackers then baked it for another 8 minutes. Added some minced green onion and baked for another 2-4 minutes. DELICIOUS, got approval from my 2 roommates and my good friend. Definitely making again."

"This was delicious! I doubled the noodles, added some cooked ham pieces, and baked it for about half the time. My only complaint is it is a little thick--I'll either cut down on the flour or use more broth. But I will be wanting this again, for sure. :)"
